Dear all,
May I congratulate you for your precious New Testament research efforts. I am nikos_p (Nikolaos Peroulis from Athens, Greece), the newest user and I was introduced by Pastor Dave Bauscher. I recently became aware of his research in the Peshitta New Testament. I sent him the following email and he graciously replied to me, he also encouraged me to post this. I would be grateful if you could provide any insight to my questions. Thank you in advance.
In Christ,
Nikolaos Peroulis <!-- s

Dear Sir,
I stand dumbfounded! May I congratulate you for your precious research regarding the comparison of the original Peshitta New Testament to the Greek New Testament which you proved is a translation. I believe your research results are true and need to be accepted as such by all. This is a very hard pill for me to swallow as I am a Greek! I am a believer and I have developed a great interest in Bible Codes and these things in the past three years. I know some Hebrew and I was aware of Aramaic and the lack of significant ELSs in the Greek NT, I was and I am still puzzled by the similarity of the Greek text in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, but I was believing like the majority of people that it was Greek the language of the NT. However, I do accept your results. They are groundbreaking! Please keep up the good work as you are most needed!
Indeed, you have discovered a goldmine and you will be remembered as the first one to have produced such results. It's all in the numbers!
I am not familiar with the Peshitta, how many books are there, what is the exact order of the books etc but I would be very interested to learn more. I do have a question about Luke who is supposed to be the only Greek writer of the NT. Is it possible that he would also write in Aramaic? He is writing to Theofilos who is a Greek. May be he was the only one who did write in Greek. Can you repeat your research by examining only the Aramaic Luke's Gospel and Acts with the Greek Luke's Gospel and Acts? In addition, can you do the same for Paul's Western Epistles? Paul is writing to a predominantly Greek audience, why would he write in Aramaic? After all, he is the apostle of the Gentiles, not the Jews, and the founder (apostle) of the Greek Church.
I would be most grateful to help you in this research but I do need the necessary software and tools to do that. This is Nikolaos Peroulis, an environmental scientist from Athens, Greece. I am a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) person and I was in Oklahoma from 1997 to 2003, up until the war in Iraq began. About that time I was drafted in the Greek Navy and served for 15 months. Now I am working here but I would really like to pursue this New Testament research. I would be grateful if you could help me with software and tools.
My hypothesis: Well, I can't prove this with numbers but I think that we are in a groundbreaking discovery here as you have discovered the tip of the iceberg. It is well beyond conventional thinking and it is hard for me to even say it, but I will as you are open minded. I may be wrong and I will admit it because it's all in the numbers but I think that only a small part of the Greek New Testament is original. I think that part is the Gospel of Luke and Acts and a few Western Epistles. If this hypothesis proved true, then we will have TWO original New Testaments, the Peshitta minus that small Greek part (written in Aramaic) AND the small Greek part. Now, going a step further, there are some very old Greek texts namely the Odyssey, the Iliad and others that have nothing to do with the New Testament but they seem to be spiritual texts and they show similarities in the way they were written with the Hebrew Old Testament. May be some of these (if they contain ELSs and satisfy other criteria) could become a new book, the Second Greek Old Testament. I would like to research this also but I need your help.
Thank you for everything you have accomplished so far. I wish you even greater discoveries in Jesus mighty name! Amen.
Sincerely,
Nikolaos Peroulis
